Looking for some photographs of miniatures I came across pictures of my miniature deer antlers. Last autumn someone gave me one rod of a thrown off deer antler and I thought it was a nice idea to make those antlers in
mini, using Fimo clay.

Your antlers are great but I LOVE your staghorn ferns. They are very realistic and your attention to detail comes through. Your paeonies are also spectacular. You have been very busy. Hope the rain stops for you soon. We are grey and damp in Ireland after our two-week mini summer!! Carol

Your antlers are so realistic, but when I came to the Staghorn Ferns I was amazed. They are just perfect and as Carol says the attention to detail incredible. They look exactly like my real size fern that I pictured in my blog having struggled to repot it a few days ago.

My paeonies sadly have also been bashed down by torrential rain. Oh for a little more sun!Robin

Hi Ilona! Your Staghorn Ferns look very much like the real life sized versions! I am never sure what size item you are showing 'til I see the penny! (But surely you have a large oversized penny just to fool us! ;))I used to have the Staghorn Ferns and they are beautiful with their long velvety leaves and living in the "air" with barely any soil! Yours are just right! And I know what you mean about the rain ruining the peonies.... we had that happen here... they opened one night and the next day it rained heavily and then off and on for three days! The peonies had their "Heads" in the mud! Some years are just like that! I hope your mini peonies will never suffer such a fate!

Now it made "click" - Betsy made me say "Ay, that's the trick!"... you're using a supersized coin in combination with real plants!!! *LOL* But without anymore foolish talk - wonderful work (as always) on the antlers but even more on the staghorn fern. As usual your eye for every detail and of course the ability to create this in miniature is stunning. Sorry about your peonies - it's the same around here, first they made "poof" because of the very warm weather and then came the rain... right in time to save our lawn's life, but not in time for the peonies and the roses. But no complaining, we're lucky to have no flood or tornado... we're having strange weather at the moment indeed.

What can I add to all those true words of praise already said. I love bothyour antlers and the Staghorn fern, especially the fern since I had one when we lived overseas. Sorry about your peonies. Here they bloom in February.The ones in the vase are gorgeous.Hugs, Drora

Ilona, you already go to x-mas with x- mas tree and (reindeer) antlers!? Is that because there was snowing in Lapland last week? :DAnyways, you made beautiful horns and stagferns. <3-Next weekend we'll celebrate the midsummer. Perhaps we have peonies then. Last summer my mum setted the parasol on her peonies to protect them from rain. :D It was hilarious! Have a lovely Sunday!

So sorry about your peonies. You wait so long for them to bloom and then they get ruined by rain or hail. But your fern and antlers look amazing! I love that the fern grows on bark. That is such a great look. And the antlers are superb!hugs♥,Caroline
